Whispering thread. Final chapter. Atto XXXV
Our normal sense of the person as a lonely island of consciousness, is a dramatic illusion based on theological imagery.
Alan Watts
Once, Shakyamuni Buddha was asked to describe consciousness.
Consciousness is a kind of clear energy

that takes the reflection of all existent phenomena, even though it doesn’t have form or color itself. Ego-consciousness is consciousness but has to be eradicated. From the Buddhist point of view, the Ego is a negative aspect of consciousness that gradually has to be abandoned.
Pure consciousness continues to flow like crystalline water, from life to life. The Ego pollutes the water and could become the dam that keeps us from our journey and must be eradicated. It is the source of all conflit and confusion.
We have to choose the right time to transfer our consciousness; we’re not allowed to do it at the wrong time because that becomes suicide. Not to be confused with the theory of Quantum suicide. There are specific times and scientifically determined signals of impending death
that indicate when it’s appropriate to engage in po-wa; there are detailed explanations of the internal and external signs that arise to show that the end of a life may be near. You should know that within us resides the possibility to change this situation.
Life is an energy force; when it dwindles we can reactivate it through our nervous system. Yogis have methods for extending life and postponing the onset of death. A knowledge that has to be acquired during the journey to full awareness.
So why transfer the consciousness?
Death is coming; natural transference of consciousness is coming anyway, so why employ these methods? The reason is that we usually die because of illness, and if it’s too advanced it overwhelms us and we can’t cope. So before our disease has progressed to that point, while we’re
still in relatively good condition, we transfer our consciousness at that time. Otherwise it’s like committing suicide. So we should not practice po-wa without a proper understanding of the signs of impending death, but when we’re lucid and still in control, then we use it.
And now for a more scientific approach, introducing Dr Peter Fenwick, a highly regarded neuropsychiatrist who has been studying the human brain, consciousness, and the phenomenon of near death experience (NDE) for quite a long time. He believes that consciousness actually exists
independently and outside of the brain as an inherent property of the universe itself. Hence, in Fenwick’s view, the brain does not create or produce consciousness; rather, it filters it. There are some analogies that bring the concept into sharper focus. For example, the eye
filters and interprets only a very small sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum and the ear registers only a narrow range of sonic frequencies. Similarly according to Fenwick the brain filters and perceives only a tiny part of the cosmos’ intrinsic consciousness. The Divine spark
To be continued. Good night.
Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the
measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.”
The Kybalion.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
